Walking in the Air

I don't know if many will know this song.
Although not a Christmas Carol.

It is played frequently at this time of year.
The song was featured in the film

"The Snowman"


"Walking in the Air"

Hi there I have played from the age of 13 and all my music is played in a sort of dance tempo style. Have worked in nearly all the North East clubs over the years. That gave me a good grounding. Cheers.

Hi Arthur,

You've done it again! You're playing the melody with that TOUCH 'ON' and getting that Pan Pipe to sound really authentic. And it's not just the set-up of this feature. It's the way you play the notes too that gives it this great sound. And then you have added a VOICE (Strings?) to the left of the split, adding harmony to the STYLE you are using. This gives an extra fullness to the whole piece.

The 'auto-ending' doesn't do justice to what has gone on before. It's usually the other way round, with the INTROS and ENDINGS outclassing what the player does.
